HowTo talk:Crash a plane

From Pee Review

It's my first HowTo: Article, Comments greatly appriciated --NXWave 04:57, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

• I say it's a good concept, but the article needs some work. You're going in the right direction. --Admiral06 05:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• It needs pictures. Turn the lists into text, too; lists on their own are OK, but can't sustain a whole article.--Procopius 11:30, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• Okay, I properly formatted it and added a new section, What do you think?, Oh and comments greatly suggested for new sections and improvment. --NXWave 11:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• I fixed some of your spelling. I think it's a good idea, to write your articles in WORD, or something with a spell checker before you save it. Oh yeah, the lists are ok, but indepth instructions on how to do some of the funny lines would be great.You have a lot of that in your mind ofcourse, so I'll let you describe your terroristic tendencies. -- Sir Severian (Sprich mit mir!) 13:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
• I added a new section, Also I can't do the list thing forever, I need sugestions on how to end the article. --NXWave 04:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
• Just a question on that Iraq reference, seeing as how, you know, Sadam didn't have much to do with Bin Laden and such. Should it be changed? User:Jsonitsac/sig
• Yeah, it does need a finisher. Perhaps "Reasons to crash a plane", or wait - much better: Section 2 is "the list". Section 1 is the primer, and then section 3 is "How do I know if my plane has crashed?" Lemon. 09:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• I like it. Lemons idea about determining wether the plane has crashed is a good one, perhaps you could put in some advice on what to do if the plane didn't crash properly. Also, "disable the atomatic pilot" should be a recurring (but not too often) instruction in the lists. -- di Mario 18:12, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
• Added in two sections. But I think it still needs more at the top. Lemon. 23:45, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

It looks much better indeed. As for the opening paragraph, perhaps you could put in a bit about reasons one might want to crash a plane. First list some obviously dumb reasons ("because it is cool", "because I hate the loud noises planes make taking off and landing and I live near an airport", "because if God had intended Mankind to fly, he would've created Birdkind instead - oh wait he did!" that sort of nonsense). Then go on and tell that this article is not intended for amateurs, but for serious plane crashers. Also, maybe point people looking for "plain crashers" (the grain in spain grow mainly on the plain) or "just plain crashers" (plain as an adjective, meaning "not remarkable") in some humourous direction. And of course I think every good article should have some pictures. I will try to think up something funny and then see if I can find a picture to go with it. I'm not good at potatochopping, though, so I'll stick to unaltered photographs. -- di Mario 18:12, 5 December 2006 (UTC) Oh by the bye, your true username consists of words which are also correctly spelt Dutch words. Concidence, or do you have a Dutch connection ? Just curious... -- di Mario

Well, that actually pretty much sums up the writing needed. I'll add the changes to my "To Do" list if nobody jumps on them sooner. Lemon. 21:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I done what I said. The actual HowTo: section, oddly, doesn't interest me enough to change. Lemon. 06:51, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

• Ok, it's good so far, I added the "Method" headings, I agree with pictures needed, the more detailed points (for some). You could also add an Introduction and Conclusion. --—Braydie 19:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

• Just a random ramble: Vaughan Williams a Lark ascending / descending ? At the moment I totally don't have the faintest on how to spoonfork this idea into the article. Just thought I'd mention it. This being PRV an' all that. -- di Mario 23:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
